Australia Set for Bangladesh in Match 9 of ICC Women's T20 World Cup — Ban Vs Aus
Australia and Bangladesh meet in ban vs aus on Wednesday, June 17, with Match 9 of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 set for 10:30am local time and 7:30pm AEST. The game sits in Group 1 and arrives with Australia top of the group on net run rate after its opening win over South Africa.
Viewers in Australia will need Prime Video to watch it live. All 33 matches are on the service exclusively, free to access through a Prime account, but there is no free-to-air television broadcast under the rights deal.
Sophie Molineux Leads Australia
Sophie Molineux is named as Australia captain for this match, with Beth Mooney, Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, Nicola Carey, Kim Garth, Lucy Hamilton, Grace Harris, Alana King, Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Voll and Georgia Wareham also in the squad. Tahlia Wilson is listed as a travelling reserve.
Australia’s likely XI leans on Mooney, Voll, Litchfield, Perry, Gardner, Wareham, Sutherland, Carey, Molineux, Garth and Schutt. Schutt is available to come into the side, and that gives Australia a pace option if the selection balance shifts away from the spin-heavy group it used at Old Trafford.
Bangladesh After Birmingham
Bangladesh arrive after beating the Netherlands in Birmingham, with Juairiya Ferdous making a half-century and Sharmin Akter Supta helping finish the chase at Edgbaston. Nigar Sultana Joty leads a squad that also includes Nahida Akter, Sharmin Akter Supta, Sobhana Mostary, Shorna Akter, Ritu Moni, Rabeya Khan, Fahima Khatun, Fariha Islam Trisna, Marufa Akter, Shanjida Akther Maghla, Sultana Khatun, Dilara Akter, Juairiya Ferdous and Taj Nehar.
Australia and Bangladesh have met only twice in the nine previous T20 World Cups. Australia won by 85 runs in Canberra in 2020, then beat Bangladesh by eight wickets in Gqeberha in 2023, when Georgia Wareham took 3-20 and Meg Lanning made 48 not out.
That recent record sits alongside a practical broadcast wrinkle for Australian fans: the match is free on Prime Video, but only after logging in with a Prime account. Fans who join late can use the rapid recap feature, while on-demand highlights and full match replays will follow after the game.
On Wednesday, the first ball comes at 10:30am local time, and the same fixture will be carried with Lauren Agenbag and Candace la Borde on-field, Sue Redfern as TV umpire, Jacqueline Williams as fourth umpire and Shandre Fritz as referee.
